Electronic enclosure and articulated back panel for use therein

ABSTRACT

A cabinet assembly or enclosure for printed circuit boards and the electronic components carried thereby which vary in depth as a result of the enclosed components and/or the space limitations in the area in which they are installed and in which the backplane is articulated to permit the automatic wiring thereof prior to assembly to the enclosure. The articulated backplane typically carries the terminals for interconnection to a wiring harness and has particular utility where such interconnections are through a wire program device desirably operable from the front of the cabinet. Thermal management for plural solid state power controllers or other heat generating components may also be achieved through the wire program.
